What to expect in the stories published here. — I’m a fan of Bitcoin, a believer in the principles underlying Bitcoin, and a buyer of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is open, honest, permissionless, awe-inspiring money. Yet, the evidence is overwhelming that Government can and will seize control of Bitcoin -almost certainly before this decade ends.
